Detailed landform mapping of key areas in the Vale of Pickering, supported by LiDAR interpretation, has produced sufficient evidence to establish a reinterpretation of the Mid to Late Pleistocene chronology of the Vale of Pickering by defining the margins of two temporally distinct proglacial lakes and reaching a new understanding of the origin of some well-documented geomorphological features. The main significance of the mapping has been to establish that the Hutton Buscel terrace probably originated by lateral erosion along the southern edge of the Corallian Group dip slope of the North York Moors prior to deposition of a broad alluvial plain below a 70 m strandline. Traces of a comparable feature were also located below the Chalk Group escarpment on the southern side of the Vale of Pickering. Perhaps of equal significance has been confirmation that the younger of the two lakes, which has a 45 m shoreline, was possibly connected to Lake Humber in the Vale of York through the Derwent Valley. Evidence for such a lake was provided by mapped shorelines at Malton and Pickering that appear compatible with shorelines in Lake Humber. To account for deep erosion of the Derwent and Mere valleys and the occurrence of laminated clays at c. 65 m, below a 70 m shoreline above Crambe, regional uplift has been evoked post the older 70 m lake. In-valley alluvial fans have been mapped for the first time in Newton Dale and Thornton Dale.

Calcareous nannofossils are a group of micrometric fossils abundantly found in marine sediments. This group is mainly composed of coccoliths, platelets produced by the unicellular algae coccolithophores, and nannoliths whose biological affinity remains unknown. Calcareous nannofossils have a continuous record for the past 215 myr (Bown 1998) and can be found in almost every marine environment from coast to open oceans and from the Equator to the poles in surface waters (Winter et al. 1994). These microfossils are also made of low-Mg calcite (Siesser 1977; Stoll et al. 2001) which is resistant to dissolution and a common matrix for geochemical analyses in palaeoceanography. Hence, calcareous nannofossils could be one of the best fossils for palaeoceanographical studies for the last 215 myr. Their use in geochemistry is, however, less common than planktic foraminifera due to their small sizes, masses (10–1000 pg) and complex vital effects. Despite the fact that nannofossils are very small (2–20 µm), the development of high-resolution analytical devices opens up the opportunity to analyse single nannofossils or even parts of them. This is a growing field of nannofossil research.
